PTK All-Kansas Academic Team honorees earned medals and certificates to commemorate their achievement.

Six students from Barton Community College in the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society were recognized Thursday for being selected as members of the PTK All-Kansas Academic Team, during an award luncheon at the Ramada Inn in Topeka.
Kami Maxwell and Branson Hoffman from the Barton County campus, Selina Beydili and Sina Carwell from the Ft. Riley campus and Julie Henderson and Kimberly Dutill from the Ft. Leavenworth campus all attended the award ceremony and luncheon, which included a keynote address from PTK Executive Director Dr. Rod Risley.
PTK is the international honor society for two-year colleges and symbolizes excellence in higher education. Students with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher are invited to join. The PTK group at Barton spends significant time sponsoring local events as well as volunteering to support others’ events, college officals noted.  
The students had to go through an application process and their applications were reviewed by an anonymous selection panel on their respective campuses.  All six students will have a chance at being named to PTK’s All-USA Academic Team, which will be announced in March.
